Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Friday, 6 February 1942

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 56.

     

12 1/4 (1)[Heroin]. Quite rested, chest free, morbid worry gone.

     

Woke 3 1/4 some 241 [asthma symptoms].

     

4 o’c increasing (2)[Heroin].

     

9 1/4 Waiter woke me no 241 but food began it badly.

     

9 3/4 (3)[Heroin].

     

12 3/4 (4)[Heroin].

     

Big lunch at 3 o’c: 241 came on badly (5)[Heroin].

     

Alice & Bayley [James Gilbert Bayley] to tea: quite OK.

     

6 1/2 (6)[Heroin] final—still aiming at “capital” theory. But it is quite certain that (a) the weather (b) my mood are immense factors.

     

10 very important to keep going with F.H. [Frieda Harris] so (7)[Heroin]. Total: 1 1/2.

     

Ham [Gerald Hamilton] phoned: will bring Mrs Cunningham—a 56! (PS Spelt Cunninghame. Address: Symbol for her etc (call is Message!) [I Ching hexagram] 35 Zin. Most appropriate. Specially [I Ching hexagram] lines 2 & 6).

     

Slept unprepared with light and fire on.
